Hillary's Service Record

Well, we're getting back to what resembles normal after dealing with unfortunate events earlier this month, and we were intrigued with this observation, nested essentially three references deep from its initial mention in Instapundit:

When Hillary tells you that she has lots of experience, she doesn’t really tell you what the experience is, but you’re supposed to imagine what it must have been. She must have been sitting in the Situation Room when the Joint Chiefs of Staff were making their judgments about how to proceed in Iraq and elsewhere. She never says that but that’s what you’re supposed to fantasize... Hillary’s claim to have had a lot of experience in government is [BS]; she doesn’t have any experience. She’s been a senator for [a few] years but she’s not talking about that; she’s talking about sleeping with the president for eight years as if that’s prepared her to run the country.

We pondered this for a moment and came to an interesting thought: if the "service" Hillary is referring to is indeed defined correctly in the last paragraph above, wouldn't there have actually been at least one significant "break in service" during that period of time?

Hey, look, bloggers have to have a reason for getting up in the morning, right?
